Zendikar Resurgent Discussion

2 days ago

I think you might be a bit light on draw currently. Especially in lists with this many mana dorks, powerful draw engines are very important. Because of the amount of cheap creatures and self-bounce, I would suggest Lifecrafter's Bestiary and Zendikar Resurgent as draw engines. In addition, one-off effects that draw for each creature you control are very powerful. Shamanic Revelation and Tishana, Voice of Thunder are two very powerful draw spells. Finally, since you mentioned that you really like Faerie Artisans, there's one very powerful draw engine that synergizes incredibly well with it. Greater Good lets you sacrifice useless tokens that were buffed by Ezuri for tons of cards, and with Faerie Artisans lets you sacrifice tokens before they are replaced for cards.

As for your other recommendations, Mirage Mirror definitely tops the list. I like the idea of that amount of flexibility on a card (not to mention the ability to hide it in the lands during a board wipe). I would like to add in the flash options, like Vedalken Orrery, but that will take cutting more cards. Mimic Vat feels like a trap card, as I don't want to exile too much from graveyards. I may proxy it and see how it plays before I splurge on it.

I'd also add some more draw. Elemental Bond & Triumph of Ferocity should both draw you plenty of cards. Kavu Lair is another choice, and since it helps other people the table may be more likely to let it stick around. Its not my first choice, but Overwhelming Instinct is so wurm-flavor heavy that it should be considered for that art alone.

Cloudstone Curio would be killer to replay all your ETB creatures. Maybe add in a Panharmonicon to double up on them. I also keep growing fonder and fonder of Zendikar Resurgent. It'll provide you with extra mana to replay creatures alongside Curio or any other ways you have to do so, plus draw you cards every time you do. Even Lifecrafter's Bestiary will help fix your draws, and can net you extra draws every time you play your creatures.

The lands I would recommend are the fetch lands just to make sure that they help you get what you need when you need it. It would also help when you actually do combat damage with Gishath, Sun's Avatar you hit more dinosaurs than you do lands. Other than that you deck looks good man I am a fan of Dino's myself. Best of luck.
